Trials for Templater Bot are typically limited to 30 days and are locked to specific IP addresses to prevent abuse of the system. If Templater is installed but not activated, it should automatically start in Trial Mode.

If, however, we’re outside of the standard Trial period, an extension can be requested. In order to do that, we’ll need you to contact us at support@dataclay.com since those extensions are issued manually.

Thanks,

Hi John,

Thank you for your reply. I purged all caches and indeed the watermark is gone now.

@rens Yes, that is the case. You might want to serve the JSON data from a server of some kind rather than store it in a file. You can point Templater to a URL to read responses in the same JSON object array format, and then use the events to update the main data source. There are advantages to doing it that way in terms of scalability and you avoid file-locking issue altogether.

@rens Register any code you want to execute each time Bot attempts to retrieve data. Bot does this at regular intervals. See the diagram in this page, and then follow the steps for registering scripts as found in our event-scripts page on the GitHub repository.

You can decide what you want that code to do for your “monitor”, but that is essentially how it can be achieved.

Let us know if this helps.

@rudramakesmovie I take it this was resolved by changing the value of “default_target” in the CLI options file?
